Dior
Homme’s silver box presentation is apt to reflect the metallic tones of orris
and the coolness of lavender, which pairing essentially constitute the
fragrance.
After a fresh bergamot opening that has
a slight waxy facet, the scent gains in floralcy with the appearance of subtle,
lily-like accents. Assertive woody ingredients meanwhile, serve as a
‘masculine’ balance: these include vetiver or, more precisely, vetiveryl
acetate, which represents vetiver oil freed of its more earthy qualities, as
well as the ubiquitous Ambrofix + Iso E Super blend. Though I find the dry
cedar initially intrusive, it soon settles into its proper place. Finally, the
steely composition reveals its soft side with a gourmand finish of cocoa and
vanilla.
